Extra Story: The cherry knot.

It was a slow day at the league of villain's hideout. There were no big missions or heists to prepare for and even fewer reasons to be at the hideout at all, but even still, all the members were present for one reason or another. Though mainly, they all shared the same reason: they had nothing better to do.

"Hey, did you know? Apparently if you can tie a knot with a cherry stem, that means you're a great kisser." Said Sachi, reading a Reddit post and breaking the silence.

"Really now?" Asked Izuku, intrigued, "I didn't even know that was possible."

"Yeah, I've seen videos of people doing it! It's actually kinda scary how many people can pull it off." Sachi replied.

"Let's test that theory then shall we?" Asked Izuku, snapping his fingers, "Kuro, get us a bowl of cherries."

"Right away." Replied the bartender, cleaning his glass.

As the bowl of cherries were brought in, all the other members chimed in as well, attempting to get in on the fun. After about 10 minutes, the entire league showed their results.

"Jesus christ it's impossible!" Ranted a frustrated Mr. Compress.

"Puah! I think I swallowed mine..." Irina gagged.

"I did it! I actually did it!" Exclaimed Twice, holding up handfuls of cherry stems who were all bitten in half. He didn't actually do it.

"Bah! this game is stupid anyways." Ranted Shigaraki in frustration, "What about you freckles, any luck?"

"None." Izuku replied, spitting out a pretzel shaped stem, just barely tied.

"Amateurs." Smirked Dabi, sticking out his long tongue and revealing a tied stem.

"Holy fuck Dabi!" Exclaimed the other two, blushing at the implications.

"What can I say?" Dabi winked, "I'm a natural."

He lied! In reality, while no one was looking, he spat out his cherry stem and tied it with his hands, then threw it back into his mouth discreetly. A simple but effective plan, no one was the wiser.

"Oh come on now, this isn't a competition. But if you really insist on getting competitive..." Said Toga, before sticking her tongue out, revealing a pristine stem that was tied into a beautiful butterfly knot, "looks like I take the lead."

"Oh my goodness." Izuku uttered out, blushing, "I mean, I kinda expected it but... damn."

She lied! When she grabbed her cherry, the stem was already sort of tangled up. All she did was fasten up some loose ends and methodically chew up the center, creating the illusion of a butterfly knot. If anyone took a closer look, the flaws would become noticable.

"Oh please! A simple butterfly knot? I raise you with a Cobra Knot!" Said Spinner revealing three cherry stems that were tied together.

He lied! Well not technically. He misunderstood the objective altogether and tied the thing with his hands in plain sight. The others simply didn't bother to correct them.
